The Wanderer Fantasy

A sad, simple tune for voice and piano balloons into a showcase for piano alone. Which then morphs into a romantic barn-burner for piano and orchestra. In today's show, the story of Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy, and two composers who, thankfully, just couldn't leave well enough alone.
